Chiropractic
What Is Chiropractic?
If you’ve never seen a chiropractor before, you might be wondering what chiropractic care actually is—and how it might help you feel, move, and live better.
Chiropractic is a natural, hands-on health profession that focuses on the spine, nervous system, and how well your body functions as a whole. At its core, chiropractic care is about helping your body work the way it’s designed to—by supporting alignment, movement, and communication between the brain and body.
In 2005, the World Health Organisation defined Chiropractic as:
“A health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. There is an emphasis on manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation with a particular focus on the spine.”
As Chiropractors, we understand and respect the fact that the human body is a complex and extremely intelligent organism. We assess your body’s mechanical and neurological systems to achieve and maintain ultimate functional integrity—so your body can heal, adapt, and thrive
What Do Chiropractors Actually Do?
Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat imbalances or misalignments in the spine and joints—called subluxations—that may be interfering with how your body moves and functions. These issues may create tension, pain, or poor communication in your nervous system
Using gentle, hands-on techniques (called adjustments), we seek to restore proper movement and alignment to your spine and joints. This may reduce stress on the nervous system, improve function, and support your body’s natural healing ability.
We seek to help you feel better—physically, mentally, and emotionally—after chiropractic care.
